Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service: Standards for Archaeological Work

These technical guidelines have been prepared for the use of professional archaeologists undertaking archaeological projects in connection with development, but will also be of use to academics, and local groups undertaking archaeological projects in London.

A framework for archaeological projects across London consistent with the European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage (Valetta 1992), the NPPF (NPPF 2012) and professional best practice.

These guidelines have been produced as part of a programme to review, revise and update the Archaeological Priority Areas across Greater London to provide a consistent framework for documenting archaeological interest for planning purposes.

An archaeological audit and resource assessment of historic burial grounds in London

Historic burial grounds (dated 1066 - 1900) of archaeological interest are sometimes present on proposed development sites and can represent a significant constraint. This report commissioned by GLAAS from Allen Archaeology is intended to help assess their archaeological interest.
